"Mekong River gives everything. Mekong river is mother," says one local. The river's cultural, environmental and economic significance is unmeasurable. But despite the threat of earthquakes, extinction of species and food shortages, the dream of hydropower - and the money it brings - is driving governments to turn its torrents into peaceful reservoirs. European consultant Poyry, who are working on the Xayaburi dam, have been accused by environmentalists of giving the Laotian government, "badly misleading advice". Meanwhile, fisheries expert Ian Baird points out, "the very people that regional governments and international organizations are spending a lot of time trying to alleviate from poverty are the ones who are going to be impacted".

Dam

A dam is a barrier that impoundswater or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for such activities as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions.

History

Ancient dams

Early dam building took place in Mesopotamia and the Middle East. Dams were used to control the water level, for Mesopotamia's weather affected the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and could be quite unpredictable.

The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, 100 kilometres (62mi) northeast of the capital Amman. This gravity dam featured an originally 9-metre-high (30ft) and 1m-wide (3.3ft) stone wall, supported by a 50m-wide (160ft) earth rampart. The structure is dated to 3000 BC.

Features and location

The Gordon Dam wall, constructed with 1,540thousand cubic metres (54×10^6cuft) of concrete, is 198 metres (650ft) long and 140 metres (460ft) high, making it the tallest dam in Tasmania and the fifth-tallest in Australia. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 12,359,040 megalitres (436,455×10^6cuft) of water; making Lake Gordon the largest lake in Australia. The surface area of the lake is 278,000 hectares (690,000 acres) and the catchment area is 1,280 square kilometres (490sqmi). The single controlled spillway is capable of discharging 175 cubic metres per second (6,200cuft/s).

In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.

THE IRON GATE 1 HYDROPOWER ROMANIA - DANUBE RIVER - Documentary (EN)

The Iron Gate Hydropower and NavigationSystem (HPNS) is one of the largest engineering projects ever undertaken in Europe, built to provide cost-effective and permanent utilization of available hydropower and to create adequate conditions for navigation along the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube. This system is built on part of the Danube River shared by Serbia and Romania , and since 1963 jointly managed by two countries, through the Joint Commission and its bodies.
The idea of utilizing the hydropower potential and improving navigation along the stretch of the Danube shared by Serbia and Romania dates back many years.

The Largest Submarine in World War II

The Sen Toku I-400-class Imperial Japanese Navy submarines were the largest submarines of World War II and remained the largest ever built until the construction of nuclear ballistic missile submarines in the 1960s. They were submarine aircraft carriers able to carry three Aichi M6A Seiran aircraft underwater to their destinations. They were designed to surface, launch their planes, then quickly dive again before they were discovered. They also carried torpedoes for close-range combat.
The I-400-class was designed with the range to travel anywhere in the world and return. A fleet of 18 boats was planned in 1942, and work started on the first in January 1943 at the Kure, Hiroshima arsenal. Within a year the plan was scaled back to five, of which only three (I-400 at Kure, and I-401 and I-4...

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for such activities as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. .

The Iron Gate Hydropower and NavigationSystem (HPNS) is one of the largest engineering projects ever undertaken in Europe, built to provide cost-effective and permanent utilization of available hydropower and to create adequate conditions for navigation along the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube. This system is built on part of the Danube River shared by Serbia and Romania , and since 1963 jointly managed by two countries, through the Joint Commission and its bodies.
The idea of utilizing the hydropower potential and improving navigation along the stretch of the Danube shared by Serbia and Romania dates back many years. Its implementation began after World War II, when a declaration was signed by Yugoslavia and Romania in which the two countries agreed to jointly explore the possibility of constructing hydro-power plants within the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube (Bucharest, 1956), and another to form a JointProject Management and Coordination Committee.
Construction of the Iron Gate 1 dam began in September of 1964. In July of 1969, a navigation lock on the left (Romanian) bank was commissioned and in August of 1970, the first hydropower generators were placed on-line. The entire facility started operations on 16 May 1972.
An agreement between the Federal ExecutiveAssembly of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Romania, addressing conditions for expansion of cooperation in the utilization of the hydropower potential of the Danube River (1977), approved the Iron Gate 2 construction project. Construction of this system began in December of 1977 and the hydro-power plants achieved their design capacities in 1986. Additional hydro-power plants, on the main stream and on the Gogos branch, were built in 1994 and 2000, respectively.

"Mekong River gives everything. Mekong river is mother," says one local. The river's cultural, environmental and economic significance is unmeasurable. But despite the threat of earthquakes, extinction of species and food shortages, the dream of hydropower - and the money it brings - is driving governments to turn its torrents into peaceful reservoirs. European consultant Poyry, who are working on the Xayaburi dam, have been accused by environmentalists of giving the Laotian government, "badly misleading advice".

THE IRON GATE 1 HYDROPOWER ROMANIA - DANUBE RIVER - Documentary (EN)

The Iron Gate Hydropower and NavigationSystem (HPNS) is one of the largest engineering projects ever undertaken in Europe, built to provide cost-effective and permanent utilization of available hydropower and to create adequate conditions for navigation along the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube. This system is built on part of the Danube River shared by Serbia and Romania , and since 1963 jointly managed by two countries, through the Joint Commission and its bodies.
The idea of utilizing the hydropower potential and improving navigation along the stretch of the Danube shared by Serbia and Romania dates back many years. Its implementation began after World War II, when a declaration was signed by Yugoslavia and Romania in which the two countries agreed to jointly explore the possibility of constructing hydro-power plants within the Iron Gate stretch of the Danube (Bucharest, 1956), and another to form a JointProject Management and Coordination Committee.
Construction of the Iron Gate 1 dam began in September of 1964. In July of 1969, a navigation lock on the left (Romanian) bank was commissioned and in August of 1970, the first hydropower generators were placed on-line. The entire facility started operations on 16 May 1972.
An agreement between the Federal ExecutiveAssembly of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Romania, addressing conditions for expansion of cooperation in the utilization of the hydropower potential of the Danube River (1977), approved the Iron Gate 2 construction project. Construction of this system began in December of 1977 and the hydro-power plants achieved their design capacities in 1986. Additional hydro-power plants, on the main stream and on the Gogos branch, were built in 1994 and 2000, respectively.
